Description

[0001] Arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part relative to a furniture body

[0002] The invention relates to an arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part, in particular a sliding door or folding sliding door, relative to a furniture body, comprising at least one guide system fastened or fastenable to the furniture body, at least one support on which the at least one movable furniture part is mounted or mountable, in particular pivotably and / or articulately, and via which the at least one movable furniture part is movable relative to the at least one guide system, and at least one drive device with which the at least one support is movable relative to the at least one guide system, having at least one cable. Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement and to a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement.

[0003] Such an arrangement is already known from the Austrian patent application with the file number A 51123 / 2019, in which a cable of a drive device is arranged in the delivery state of the drive device via balls on the drive device in such a way that a fitter has to manually remove the balls from the drive device in order to then arrange them - also manually - on a carrier so that the drive device can assist in moving the carrier out of a receiving shaft.

[0004] A disadvantage of the current technology is that manually connecting the drive device's cable to the support is cumbersome and requires additional time during assembly of the assembly. Particularly in an already installed receiving shaft, the connection is inconvenient due to the drive device being concealed in the receiving shaft, and requires disassembly of the receiving shaft. If the cable accidentally detaches from the assembly on the support during operation (e.g., due to vibrations and / or inadequate connection), there is no user-friendly way to ensure the proper functionality of the assembly.In practice, the coupling of the drive device to the support is often forgotten or not corrected properly, which means that increased force is required to move the movable furniture part and, moreover, it is difficult to determine the cause of the increased force during operation.

[0005] The objective technical problem of the present invention is therefore to provide an arrangement, a piece of furniture and a method which are improved compared to the prior art and in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated and which are characterized in particular by a particularly convenient coupling of the cable of the drive device to a support or a movable furniture part, whereby the risk of a missing connection between the drive device and the support / movable furniture part is reduced.

[0006] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0007] It is therefore provided according to the invention that at least one coupling device is arranged on the at least one movable furniture part and / or the at least one support, wherein the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one cable of the at least one drive device upon a relative movement of the at least one support relative to the at least one guide system.

[0008] This makes it possible that after the at least one carrier has been mounted on the at least one guide system, no additional manual couplings are required by the fitter, since the connection between the drive unit and the carrier can be generated by the relative movement itself.

[0009] In addition, there is the positive feature that in the event of a possible release of the coupling after a renewed movement from an extended position (for example, active position for subsequent covering of furnishings) towards a retracted position (for example, retracted position in a receiving shaft) of the at least one support or the at least one movable furniture part, the coupling is automatically re-established.Accordingly, the fitter only has to arrange the at least one support on the at least one guide system, wherein when the at least one movable furniture part is pushed into a furniture shaft, the at least one coupling device takes along the at least one cable during a relative movement of the at least one support and the at least one drive device absorbs energy by which a movement of the at least one movable furniture part in the direction of the extended position is supported and / or caused.

[0010] In general, the coupling can be maintained between a time of the initial coupling and a disassembly of the arrangement - for example by clamping the at least one cable in the at least one coupling device, for example via a coupling element of the at least one cable - or can be re-established upon movement of the at least one carrier from the extended position to the retracted position.

[0011] The at least one coupling device can, for example, be fork-shaped and / or comprise a fork-shaped region for receiving the at least one cable and / or at least one coupling element of the at least one cable, wherein the at least one cable and / or the at least one coupling element of the at least one cable can be brought into contact at least in regions within the fork-shaped coupling device, preferably clamped in the fork-shaped coupling device and / or brought into frictional connection with the fork-shaped coupling device and / or brought into positive connection with the fork-shaped coupling device in a direction along the at least one cable and / or the at least one coupling element.

[0012] The term rope is to be interpreted so broadly that it also includes, in an analogous manner, a chain or other flexible components capable of withstanding tensile loads, such as cords, threads or wires.

[0013] As stated above, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement. The automatic coupling increases the reliability of the functionality of the arrangement, while a clamping process during the insertion of the at least one support makes the extension of the at least one movable furniture part more convenient.

[0014] In addition, by connecting the at least one movable piece of furniture, a movement out of the furniture shaft in a direction transverse to the furniture shaft can be carried out particularly favorably, since the at least one movable piece of furniture is urged in the direction of the extended position and thus a guidance for covering furnishings is facilitated.

[0015] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement with the following process steps:

[0016] - the at least one carrier is arranged on the at least one guide system in a preparatory step,

[0017] - the at least one carrier is moved relative to the at least one guide system in a first step, whereby

[0018] - in a second step, the at least one cable of the at least one drive device is automatically coupled to the coupling device.

[0019] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0020] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one guide system comprises at least one first guide rail with a longitudinal direction for guiding the at least one movable furniture part along the first guide rail and / or at least one second guide rail for guiding the at least one movable furniture part, wherein the at least one second guide rail runs transversely relative to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail in a state of use and / or the at least one movable furniture part is movable via the at least one support along the at least one first guide rail between an extended position and a retracted position.At least one first rail and at least one second rail make it possible to arrange the at least one movable furniture part in specific positions on the at least one guide system, which may include, for example, a parking position or a covering position, and wherein secure guidance between the individual positions can be ensured.

[0021] The extended position and the retracted position are to be applied with respect to all component parts of the arrangement, wherein two different relative positions of the at least one carrier with respect to the at least one guide system are expressed.

[0022] Advantageously, it is provided that during a first relative movement of the at least one carrier relative to the at least one guide system, the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one cable and / or the at least one cable is connected to the at least one coupling device in the extended position, the retracted position and / or between the extended position and the retracted position.

[0023] If the coupling is maintained during operation of the arrangement after an initial relative movement, this can prevent a secure coupling from occurring due to improper alignment of the at least one cable. This situation can be remedied, for example, by clamping the cable via a clamping mechanism, whereby the at least one cable remains securely connected to the at least one coupling device during movement of the at least one movable furniture part.

[0024] It has proven advantageous for the at least one drive device to comprise at least one cable drum for winding and unwinding the at least one cable and at least one energy storage device for pretensioning the at least one cable drum. Preferably, the at least one cable drum and / or the at least one energy storage device are arranged, particularly preferably entirely, within a housing of the at least one drive device. In general, the at least one cable is wound up on the at least one cable drum in the extended position for compact storage, with a free end protruding from the at least one drive device.If the at least one cable is pulled out of the at least one drive device by a relative movement of the at least one support in the direction of the retracted position, the at least one energy storage device is pretensioned, wherein the stored energy is released to the at least one movable furniture part when the at least one movable furniture part moves in the direction of the extended position.

[0025] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one force storage device can be tensioned during a movement of the at least one carrier in the direction of a retracted position and / or is pretensioned or untensioned in an extended position.

[0026] It has proven advantageous that the at least one cable of the at least one drive device comprises at least one coupling element, preferably in the form of a ball, for connecting the at least one cable to the at least one coupling device and / or a spacer element, preferably a truncated cone, spaced apart from the at least one coupling element for spacing the at least one coupling element, preferably from a possibly present housing of the at least one drive device.

[0027] On the one hand, the at least one spacer element provides an adjustment option, resulting in increased flexibility in the coupling—particularly with varying structural sizes of the components of the assembly. On the other hand, it distances the at least one coupling element from the housing or other components, such as a guide rail, in order to generate the coupling in a particularly favorable manner.

[0028] The at least one coupling element prevents unwanted detachment of the at least one cable from the at least one coupling device, thereby providing a secure arrangement for moving the movable furniture part. Any unwanted slipping of the cable relative to the at least one coupling device can be prevented.

[0029] An advantageous variant of the invention consists in that the at least one drive device has at least one outlet opening through which the at least one cable of the drive device, in a state of use, projects essentially vertically downwards due to gravity for coupling to the at least one coupling device.

[0030] If the at least one outlet opening is located at the bottom of the assembly in the use state, the cable can assume a defined position, allowing the at least one drive device to be connected to the at least one movable furniture part particularly easily. The at least one outlet opening is particularly preferably arranged on a housing side of the at least one drive device, which is aligned parallel to the at least one first guide rail.

[0031] It is particularly preferred that the at least one coupling device comprises at least one receiving device, which preferably comprises a tapered recess and / or a holding area.

[0032] The at least one receiving device can, for example, be designed as a wedge-shaped receptacle with two side surfaces that taper relative to each other. Generally, a convex or concave curved receiving device or a receiving device with a folding mechanism is also possible.

[0033] The holding area is particularly preferably arranged adjacent to the at least one receiving device and is integrally connected to it. The holding area ensures a secure coupling of the at least one rope to the at least one coupling device and can be designed, for example, in the form of a clamping device; hook-and-loop and / or adhesive connections are also conceivable. In the prior art, the rope must be manually maneuvered into a receiving device. The solution with the at least one receiving device, which can be automatically coupled to the rope, offers greater convenience.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one coupling device comprises a base, preferably with at least one opening for fastening means, for connection to the at least one movable furniture part and / or the at least one support, wherein it is preferably provided that at least one web, which has the at least one receiving device, and / or a further web for stiffening is arranged on the base transversely to the base.

[0035] The coupling device is particularly preferably made of metal. However, in general, the coupling device can also be made of plastic, for example.

[0036] It has proven advantageous that the at least one carrier can be moved from a retracted position into an extended position, preferably automatically, via the at least one drive device.

[0037] The at least one drive device cannot support a manual movement of the at least one movable furniture part or replace a manual operation by carrying out the movement automatically.

[0038] In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one ejection device is provided, with which the at least one carrier can be ejected from a retracted position by the at least one ejection device at least in sections in the direction of an extended position, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one carrier can be moved in the retracted position by exerting pressure on the at least one carrier into an overpressure position lying behind the retracted position, whereby the ejection device can be triggered.

[0039] The at least one ejection device can initiate the movement of the at least one movable furniture part along the at least one guide system, whereby a transition from a parking position to a relative movement in the direction of the extended position can be effected.

[0040] In a further embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the arrangement comprises at least one receiving shaft in which the at least one movable furniture part can be arranged in a retracted position, preferably completely, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one movable furniture can be moved in an extended position transversely to a longitudinal extent of the at least one receiving shaft for concealing a piece of furniture, particularly preferably via at least one second guide rail that may be present.

[0041] The at least one receiving shaft results in an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture, wherein the arrangement can be hidden within the at least one receiving shaft and, if necessary, the at least one movable furniture part can be pulled out to conceal furnishings and moved in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extent.

[0042] It is particularly preferably provided that the piece of furniture has a furniture body and at least two furniture parts which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the furniture body, wherein the furniture parts are articulated to one another in a use state via a vertically extending axis, wherein the at least two furniture parts are movable by the arrangement between a first position in which the furniture parts are aligned substantially parallel to one another and a second position in which the furniture parts are aligned substantially coplanar to one another, wherein it is preferably provided that the furniture body has at least one receiving shaft for receiving the furniture parts in the first position and / or the furniture parts are movable from a retracted position towards an extended position via at least one drive device.

[0043] The arrangement is particularly suitable for use with a multi-part folding sliding door. However, movable furniture parts as one-piece panels are also provided. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one force storage device of the at least one drive device is tensioned during a movement of the support from an extended position toward a retracted position and / or a movement of the support from a retracted position toward an extended position is assisted, preferably with the aid of at least one ejection device.

[0044] Particularly preferably, the at least one drive device is arranged on a furniture panel and / or the at least one guide system of the arrangement, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one drive device is arranged between two furniture panels of a receiving shaft.

[0053] Fig. 10 a piece of furniture according to a particularly preferred embodiment with two receiving shafts and two arrangements according to the embodiment according to Fig. 1a.

[0054] Fig. 1a and 1b show an arrangement 1 for guiding a movable furniture part 2 (not shown for reasons of clarity - see Fig. 10) relative to a furniture body 3, comprising a guide system 4 attachable to the furniture body 3 and a support 5, on which the movable furniture part 2 can be pivoted and articulated. The explicit design of the support 5 is generally arbitrary; for example, the support 5 can be a beam, a support, a plate, a rail, or the like, whereby the support 5 can also be constructed in multiple pieces. The movable furniture part 2 can be moved relative to the guide system 4 via the support 5.

[0055] The guide system 4 comprises two first guide rails 9 with a longitudinal direction 10 for guiding the movable furniture part 2 along the first guide rails 9, wherein the number of guide rails 9 is generally arbitrary. The movable furniture part 2 is movable via the support 5 along the first guide rails 9 between an extended position 13 and a retracted position 14. The retracted position 14 is indicated by a cross (X), at the position of which the movable furniture part 2, with two furniture panels arranged on the guide system 4, is completely inserted into a receiving shaft 30 formed thereby (see Fig. 10). In general, a partial insertion of the movable furniture part 2 along the first guide rails 9 can also be used as the retracted position 14.For stable guidance of the movable furniture part 2, a Y-shaped reinforcement structure in the form of articulated struts and a diagonally extending guide cable are provided, whereby only the Y-reinforcement structure or the guide cable can be used or can be omitted entirely.

[0056] Fig. 2 shows the arrangement 1 , wherein both furniture panels which form the receiving shaft 30 are not shown for the sake of illustration.

[0057] The assembly 1 comprises a drive device 6, which is concealed behind a cover plate. The drive device 6 comprises a cable 7, which—as can be seen in the detailed section—projects beneath the cover plate. A coupling device 8 is arranged on the support 5, wherein the coupling device 8 is automatically coupled to the cable 7 of the drive device 6 upon a relative movement of the support 5 relative to the guide system 4 in the direction of the retracted position 14.

[0058] In general, the coupling device 8 can be arranged on the movable furniture part 2. In conjunction with the drive device 6, the support 5 is movable relative to the guide system 4 via the drive device 6.

[0059] The carrier 5 can be moved automatically from the retracted position 14 into the extended position 13 via the drive device 6, whereby assistance of a manual movement is also possible depending on the force setting of the drive device 6.

[0060] Fig. 3 shows the arrangement 1 with a cover plate (not shown) during a first relative movement of the carrier 5 along the first guide rails 9 in the direction of the retracted position 14 for contacting and subsequently coupling the drive device 6 with the carrier 5.

[0061] The coupling can be generated as follows: - the carrier 5 is arranged on the guide system 4 in a preparatory step (already completed in the illustration),

[0062] - the carrier 5 is moved in a first step relative to the guide system 4 (visible in the illustration), whereby

[0063] - in a second step, the cable 7 of the drive device 6 is automatically coupled to the coupling device 8 (by a subsequent contact).

[0064] The coupling can be carried out once and maintained or can be carried out again after positioning the carrier 5 in the extended position 13.

[0065] An ejection device 29 is provided, with which the carrier 5 can be ejected in sections from the retracted position 14 by the ejection device 29 in the direction of the extended position 13. In the retracted position 14, the carrier 5 can be moved by exerting pressure on the carrier 5 into an overpressure position located behind the retracted position 14, whereby the ejection device 29 can be triggered and ejects the carrier 5 in the direction of the extended position 13, wherein a movement into the extended position 13 is carried out via the drive device 6.

[0066] Fig. 4a shows the drive device 6 and the coupling device 8 before coupling has been completed. The drive device 6 can be attached to a cover flap using fastening means.

[0067] The cable 7 protrudes from a housing 17 of the drive device 6, wherein the cable 7 has a coupling element 18 in the form of a ball 19 for connecting the cable 7 to the coupling device 8. If the cable 7 is arranged in the coupling device 8, the coupling element 18 hooks and prevents an unwanted release of the cable 7 from the coupling device 8. The coupling can be provided with a positive and / or non-positive fit.

[0068] The cable 7 comprises a spacer element 20 in the shape of a truncated cone, spaced from the coupling element 18, for spacing the coupling element 18 from the housing 17. Generally, cylindrical, spherical, or other spacer elements 20 are also possible for spacing the coupling element 18 from the drive device in such a way that a secure, automatic coupling with the coupling device 8 can be achieved. It is also conceivable that the coupling element 18, when the cable 7 is in an untensioned state, protrudes a particularly defined length of cable from the housing 17 by itself due to gravity, whereby the spacer element 20 can be dispensed with.

[0069] Fig. 4b shows the geometric design of the drive device 6 and the coupling device 8 from a viewing direction inclined compared to Fig. 4a.

[0070] The coupling device 8 comprises a receiving device 22, which includes a tapered recess 23 and a holding area 24. The receiving device 22 is designed to receive a cable section adjacent to the coupling element 18, wherein the holding area 24 is configured to correspond to the cable in order to ensure a secure connection of the coupling device 8 to the cable 7.

[0071] The coupling device 8 has a receiving device 22 comprising two inclined surfaces that form an acute angle to each other. The inclined surfaces can generally also form a right angle or an obtuse angle to each other.

[0072] Fig. 5a and Fig. 5b differ from Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b only in that the coupling device 8 has been moved in the direction of the cable 7 and the arrangement 1 is thus shortly before coupling.

[0073] In Fig. 5a, a force storage device 16 of the drive device 6 in the form of a spiral spring is shown in dotted lines, which is concealed by the housing 17. In general, the force storage device 16 can also comprise other force storage devices such as fluid energy accumulators, leaf springs, tension or compression springs. The force storage device 16 is tensioned when the carrier 5 moves from the extended position 13 toward the retracted position 14. A movement of the carrier 5 from the retracted position 14 toward the extended position 13 is assisted by the force storage device 16, wherein an ejection device 29 (not visible in the illustration) can be used to assist in a first movement section.

[0074] The force storage device 16 can be tensioned upon movement of the carrier 5 toward the retracted position 14 and can be pretensioned or untensioned in the extended position 13, depending on the requirements of the assembly 1. The force storage device 16 can generally also include an adjustment device for adjusting the force storage.

[0075] The drive device 6 comprises a cable drum 15 (shown in dashed lines) for winding and unwinding the cable 7, with the energy storage device 16 being provided for pre-tensioning the cable drum 15. The cable drum 15 and the energy storage device 16 are arranged entirely within the housing 17 of the drive device 6. In general, a partial arrangement in the housing 17 or the housing 17 can also be provided as a socket.

[0076] Fig. 6a and Fig. 6b show the automatic coupling from two different viewing angles, wherein upon a first relative movement of the carrier 5 (on which the coupling device 8 is arranged) relative to the guide system 4, the coupling device 8 is automatically coupled to the cable 7.

[0077] The cable 7 remains connected to the coupling device 8 in the extended position 14, the retracted position 13 and between the extended position 14 and the retracted position 13, whereby it is also possible that the coupling is released in the extended position 14 and is generated again when the movable furniture part 2 is pushed in again.

[0078] The drive device 6 has an outlet opening 21 through which the cable 7 of the drive device 6 projects vertically downwards due to gravity in a use state 12 of the arrangement 1 for coupling to the coupling device 8. The coupling device 8 comprises a base 25 with two openings 26 for fastening means for connection to the movable furniture part 2 and / or the support 5, wherein the coupling device 8 is particularly preferably fastened to the support 5.

[0079] On the base 25, transversely to the base 25, a web 27 is arranged, which has the receiving device 22 and the holding area 24 for the secured connection, and a further web 28 for stiffening.

[0080] In Fig. 7a and Fig. 7b, the coupling device 8 has been moved further relative to the drive device 6, wherein the coupling element 18 maintains a connection with the coupling device 8 and moves the cable 7 along.

[0081] Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b differ from Fig. 7a and Fig. 7b only in that the coupling device 8 has been moved further, wherein the coupling element 18 points in the direction of movement and the spacer 20 is arranged on an opposite side of the receiving device 22.

[0082] In Fig. 9a and Fig. 9b it can be seen how, with a continued movement of the coupling device 8, the cable 7 is moved along with the coupling device 8, whereby the force storage device 16 is charged.

[0083] Fig. 10 shows a piece of furniture 33 with two assemblies 1 for moving movable furniture parts 2, which form folding sliding doors. In general, the assembly 1 can also be used for moving one-piece sliding doors, for example, to conceal furnishings 32. The furniture parts 2 can be stored in the two receiving shafts 30 via the assemblies 1. The two guide systems 4 of the two assemblies 1 are each attached to the furniture body 3 via two furniture panels, with a further furniture panel spaced apart from each other and arranged parallel to the two furniture panels to form the receiving shafts 30.

[0084] The drive device 6 is arranged on the guide system 4. However, the drive device 6 can also be arranged on the furniture panel of the arrangement. The furniture 33 comprises a furniture body 3 and two furniture parts 2 in the form of a folding sliding door, which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the furniture body 3. In a use state 12 of the arrangement 1, the furniture parts 2 are articulated to one another via a vertically extending axis 34. In general, a movable furniture part 2 in the form of a sliding door can also be provided in a similar manner.

[0085] The two furniture parts 2 are movable by the assembly 1 between a first position 35, in which the furniture parts 2 are aligned substantially parallel to one another, and a second position, in which the furniture parts 2 are aligned substantially coplanar to one another. The second position is not shown; this is generated by unfolding the two furniture parts 2. For improved guidance, a guide carriage movable along the second guide rail 11 can be provided for moving the two furniture parts 2 relative to the second guide rail 11.

[0086] In the second position, furnishings 32 are concealed. In the first position 35, the two furniture parts 2 can be moved in a receiving shaft 30 for receiving the furniture parts 2. The two furniture parts 2 can be moved from a retracted position 14 towards an extended position 13 via the drive device 6 of the arrangement 1, with an ejection device 29 (not visible - see Fig. 1a) being provided to assist in this process. However, the ejection device 29 is generally not required. In the illustration, the furniture parts 2 are shown in the extended position 13, with the retracted position 14 indicated by a cross (X).

[0087] The guide system 4 of the arrangement 1 comprises a second guide rail 11 for guiding the movable furniture parts 2 orthogonally to the first guide rails 9, wherein the second guide rail 11 in a use state 12 runs transversely relative to the longitudinal direction 10 of the first guide rails 9 and connects them for a harmonious movement sequence.

[0088] The arrangement 1 comprises the receiving shaft 30 through the parallel formation of two furniture panels. In general, the arrangement 1 can also be provided without a receiving shaft 30, and a tapered formation is conceivable. The movable furniture parts 2 can be completely arranged in the receiving shaft 30 in the retracted position 14, although a partial arrangement in the receiving shaft 30 is also conceivable.
